^ that and personally I'd suggest a butter(which is basically just a different line from the lesser, but essentially the same morph). They're cheapest and most common of your options(don't let how common they are deter you, they're one of the most beautiful morphs and a must have in many collections) and they get better as they age, unlike many morphs (axanthics, pastels, pieds, etc. get worse as that age IMO).
One more thing though, if you ever plan on breeding do not get a female desert, however, they will still make good and pretty pets(you can actually find female desert combos for some pretty low prices).
